hd6gtom -- Don't know if fuel is #1 or #2 but I'll find out. I got rid of the tanks a few years ago and fill 5-gallon cans from the local Phillips 66 station. The fuel was bought recently, and the station is a busy place. I'll also check into any additives that might prevent gelling.
3v92guy and Mark Robke -- I'll check for kinks in the hoses, and it's good to know there aren't any service bulletins on the issue. There's a consensus on blockage as the most likely cause, so I'll disconnect all the small hoses and check. The check valves are easy to get at so I'll just replace them.
jm. -- I noted down the route of the vent line and will use a wire as you described, and buy a hose with the check valves. I'll replace the spring clamps with SS hose clamps, but only one or two at a time.
I always bought parts catalogs and service manuals for the old tractors, and could almost always muddle through. I didn't get them for this tractor because I don't have a chance at trouble-shooting it.
Thank you, Ken.
Bill, 'mooger' is just a silly, made-up word, an inside joke with an old friend, and not quite clean enough to define in mixed company. I started reading and posting occasionally at the Ford forum in 1999 using a different handle. Years passed and a post was refused one day - registration was required but I'd missed any notice of it, and somebody had copped my old handle.
